HPE accelerated its India-focused technology agenda on Friday with the successful conclusion of HPE Discover More AI Mumbai 2025, a flagship event that brought together technology leaders, industry experts, over 600 enterprise customers, and nearly 300 strategic partners. The annual forum highlighted how advanced AI, hybrid cloud architectures, and intelligent networking are reshaping enterprise innovation across sectors.
Hosted recently in Mumbai, the India edition of HPE’s global Discover series centered on the theme Unlock Ambition, offering participants a firsthand look at next-generation capabilities through keynote sessions, curated technology tracks, and live demonstrations.
Sue Preston, Vice President, WW Advisory & Professional Services at HPE, outlined how enterprises can unlock greater value by leveraging HPE’s services-led innovation. She also announced a new collaboration between HPE and EARTH 51, a UN Global Compact member and global think tank, aimed at building Responsible AI skills at scale in India. As part of the national initiative titled Build Responsible AI Skills for India’s Future, students across major metros will receive access to CPD-certified micro-credentials designed to boost employability and readiness for an AI-driven economy. HPE will also sponsor annual AI scholarships in the pilot phase across Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and Bengaluru.
“AI presents unprecedented opportunities for India, but its true potential will be unlocked only when responsibility and innovation advance together,” Preston said. “Our collaboration with EARTH 51 reflects our commitment to investing in India’s next generation of innovators and equipping them with the Responsible AI capabilities that industry now demands.”
A key highlight of the event was the showcase of HPE’s expanded AI-native networking capabilities, following the integration of Juniper Networks into HPE just five months after the acquisition closed. The company demonstrated how it is combining HPE Aruba Networking and HPE Juniper Networking to offer autonomous, scalable, and AI-optimized operations that strengthen infrastructure performance for modern AI workloads.
The enhanced solution portfolio introduces unified hardware and advanced AIOps capabilities across HPE Aruba Networking Central and HPE Juniper Networking’s Mist operations platforms. With updates to HPE OpsRamp Software and the rollout of new HPE Juniper switching and routing products, HPE aims to ensure that intelligent networks remain the foundation of AI and hybrid cloud adoption while reducing IT complexity through agentic AI integrated with GreenLake Intelligence.
“Today, AI needs intelligent networks, and intelligent networks need AI,” said Bhawna Agarwal, SVP and Managing Director, HPE India. “At HPE Discover More AI Mumbai 2025, we showcased how our leadership across AI, networking, and hybrid cloud is powering the next generation of intelligent enterprises. We are committed to delivering world-class innovations that enable organizations to scale with confidence and realize transformative outcomes.”
The event also served as a platform for leading technology partners to showcase collaborative innovations. NVIDIA demonstrated how its work with HPE is accelerating data center modernization and enabling advanced AI factories. Intel shared insights on data intelligence innovations driven by Intel Xeon 6 processors and HPE ProLiant Gen12 servers. Nutanix added perspectives on best practices for scaling enterprise AI initiatives.
Participants engaged with three dedicated breakout tracks — Accelerate AI, Unleash AI, and Unlock AI — each focused on practical pathways for deploying and scaling AI in enterprise environments. The event floor featured interactive exhibits of HPE’s latest solutions across hybrid cloud, AI, and networking, enabling attendees to explore technologies shaping the future of intelligent enterprises.
With a strong emphasis on skills, intelligent infrastructure, and strategic partnerships, HPE Discover More AI Mumbai 2025 reinforced HPE’s commitment to empowering Indian enterprises as they accelerate their AI-driven transformation journeys.
